CATALYST FOR PRODUCING BOTH END-HYDROXYL GROUP-TERMINATED DIOLS, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE CATALYST, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE DIOLS BY USING THE CATALYST, AND BOTH END-HYDROXYL GROUP-TERMINATED DIOLS OBTAINED BY THE PROCESS

摘要

To provide a method for manufacturing a diol compound, particularly 1,3-diols simply, highly selectively, inexpensively and efficiently. The catalyst for manufacturing both terminal diols is used when both terminal diols are manufactured by the hydrocracking of an epoxy alcohol compound. The method for manufacturing the catalyst, the method for manufacturing both terminal diols using the catalyst and both terminal diols obtained by the manufacturing method are also disclosed.
